Last year, when I was in 8th grade, I could not wait to go to Buena to be in the orchestra there. But then my parents began to talk about that "nerd school" called Foothill. Foothill was more academic than Buena, but it had no music program.
What was I to decide? Music or academics?
The reason that i wanted to go to Buen is that they had an orchestra and i thought i had many friends going there. But i also had lots, more than i realized at the time, of friends going to foothill. And at foothill, there were many opprotunities to socilize and learn new things.
I decided Foothill. My parents and i researched to see if i could be in the orchestra and still go to Foothill. Sadly they later concluded that it would be too much of a task. I was completly devistated. the next best thing was spanish, I supposed.

A few weeks before school started, I began thinking about how much I loved music. I was basically depressed. I talked with my parents and they realized I was not happy. A week or so later was orientation. After we went to our classes, I went and visited my counselor. I told her about my predicament and she said she could probably work it out. A few days later I went back to finalize everything.
Now everyday I ride my bike to Foothill in the morning. After having lunch at Foothill I get back on my bike and go to Buena (with maybe a stop in between) then after Music class I go to my 7th period class. And once and awhile I get lucky and my Mama will be my chauffer. I love my school!
